    Lots of grey here in this ChatGPT writeup. Communism is on the far left fringe and Socialism has flavors from the right of the middle to the far left. We have forms of Socialism here in the States, but I won't get into that for this discussion.

    Something you left out is that Socialism, in any form, is implemented via peaceful majority democratic means while Communism is usually forced by revolution and does not usually reflect the will of the majority of the people.

    Socialism = private property and an element of capitalism and altruism.
    Communism = no private property, no capitalism. Life sucks, it's grey, why work hard when Igor doesn't do **** and gets the same thing. Unless you count the black market, which is huge in Communist countries.

    The graph you highlighted is a little cherry-picked to not show Post-Communist Fertility Decline, and it was averaged in ways that smooth any dip which happened in the early 1990s in most of Eastern Europe. Here's the same chart from the same source:

    Here's a chart from the same source for all of Europe for the last ~50 years. Looks pretty close to what 'capitalism' did for old Soviet-Bloc country life expectancy, eh?

    Conclusion: Medial science and health have improved together in Europe....probably due to liberal socialist-leaning culture.

    I suspect we can find similar stories in America
    where they simply could not afford it at all

    so woke lunatics are absolutely against guns and right to bear arms
    But they are ok with a good looking unabomber bro using a gun to kill a corporate executive cause they hate corporations
    They hate corporations but they use the largest product company everyday to post on TikTo
    And they get their tips when we get our $7 lattes

    People seem to forget or not know that there has never been a true Communist country.

    You are right. It was not a hard prediction to make. Socialists and communists have always murdered in history.

    An obvious lie, but what else to expect from you.

    because he tweeted it right after the assassination attempt on trump. and its only one of several times that he joked about/pondered it.

    ¿es tuyo?
